Hannah wasn’t surprised to hear this.
Back when her family first encountered financial difficulties, her mother had already suggested this.
However, Hannah didn’t listen to what her mother said. She persisted for Leon’s sake…
Hannah frowned deeply and looked at her mother. “I… I’d still like to continue studying there.”
Her mother also frowned. “Hannah, are you doing this for Leon Batton?”
Hannah appeared shocked. “How did you know? Did you peek at my diary?”
Mrs. Roland frowned further. “Why can’t I read it? I’m your mother.”
“Just because you’re my mother doesn’t mean you can read my diary as you wish,” Hannah said.
“Why not? There are no secrets between us,” Mrs. Roland replied.
At this moment, Hannah felt that whatever she said was pointless.
She knew that her mother hadn’t been emotionally well ever since their family encountered financial difficulties.
Hence, she didn’t continue arguing with her mother.
Instead, she looked down. “I hope you won’t do it again.”
“That doesn’t matter. Can you promise me you’ll do as I say?” Mrs. Roland asked.
“Hannah, the money you make from selling your luxury items… Save them for the family. Your father… We’ve just found out he has kidney cancer. We need a lot of money for his treatment…
“The cancer cells haven’t started spreading yet. The doctor says he can try to get a kidney transplant…
“After the kidney transplant, a lot of money will still be required for post-surgery treatment,” Hannah’s mother explained.
When Hannah heard this, she lost all her drive to persevere.
She immediately broke down crying.
It was then when she decided she no longer wanted to go to school… Keeping her father alive was more important.
